Frantisek Frischmann at children´s festivities in Vysoke Myto

The boy in the centre, peering from behind the airplane, is my brother Frantisek.

Each year in Vysoke Myto there were children's festivities. It was a big festival and was great fun for us children! Children went about dressed in various costumes.

I remember us dressing as postmen, soccer players. In this photo my brother is dressed as pilot. I don't remember who used to make our costumes and props.

My brother was proud of this airplane with NOVY YORK [NEW YORK] written on it, it was beautiful and the other children were envious.
